There were 3 events, 2 evening, and 1 during the day. I made time to attend all 3. At each event, I tried to speak with folks I had not seen for a long time. Even some folks I'll admit I didn't remember, or get along with during school.

It's been long enough that I didn't remember why I avoided them back them, or it didn't matter. What did matter was if I could help them out in my current situation.

This was a fun event to attend. I got pulled in as a panelist, but the businesses that had made the finals were not pipedreams. There were groups already up and running, and needing just a little bit more juice.

I was asked to give advice on what to tell entrepreneurs who are going to be given 10 minutes for a presentation:

Here are some simple thoughts

10 min = 8 slides.

Put the Benefit as the first slide (why does any customer care if this company exists?)Put the Market as the second slide (is this company worth paying attention to?)Put the resources being looked for as the second slide (why should the audience be in the room?)
